حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُقْبِلٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ ثنا مُجَاشِعُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَسَدِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ؓ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ أَنَّ أُمَيَّةَ بْنَ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ كَانَ بِغَزَّةَ أَوْ قَالَ بِإِيلِيَّا فَلَمَّا قَفَلْنَا قَالَ

لِي أُمَيَّةُ يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ إِنْ نَتَقَدَّمْ عَنِ الرُّفْقَةِ فَنَتَحَدَّثْ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَفَعَلْنَا فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ أَيُّهُنَّ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ؟ قُلْتُ أَيُّهُنَّ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ؟ قَالَ كَرِيمُ الطَّرَفَيْنِ وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْمَظَالِمَ وَالْمَحَارِمَ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَشَرِيفٌ مُسِنٌّ؟ قُلْتُ وَشَرِيفٌ مُسِنٌّ قَالَ السِّنُّ وَالشَّرَفُ أزْرَيَا بِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ مَا ازْدَادَ سِنًّا إِلَّا ازْدَادَ شَرَفًا قَالَ يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ إِنَّهَا لَكَلِمَةٌ مَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا يَقُولُهَا لِي مُنْذُ تَنَصَّرْتُ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكَ قَالَ هَاتِ قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَجِدُ فِي كُتُبِي نَبِيًّا يُبْعَثُ مِنْ حَرَّتِنَا هَذِهِ فَكُنْتُ أَظُنُّ بَلْ كُنْتُ لَا أَشُكُّ أَنِّي هُوَ فَلَمَّا دَارَسْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا هُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ فَنَظَرْتُ فِي بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَصْلُحُ لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ غَيْرَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرْتَنِي بِسِنِّهِ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِهِ حِينَ جَاوَزَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ وَلَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَضَرَبَ الدَّهْرُ مَنْ ضَرَبَهُ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَرَجْتُ فِي رَكْبٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أُرِيدُ الْيَمَنَ فِي تِجَارَةٍ فَمَرَرْتُ بِأُمَيَّةَ بْنِ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ بِهِ يَا أُمَيَّةُ قَدْ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَنْتَظِرُ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ حَقٌّ فَاتَّبِعْهُ قُلْتُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ اتِّبَاعِهِ؟ قَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ اتِّبَاعِهِ إِلَّا الِاسْتِحْيَاءُ مِنْ نَسَيَاتِ ثَقِيفٍ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أُحَدِّثُهُنَّ أَنِّي هُوَ ثُمَّ يُرِيَنَّنِي تَابِعًا لِغُلَامٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُمَيَّةُ وَكَأَنِّي يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ إِنْ خَالَفْتُهُ قَدْ رُبِطْتُ كَمَا يُرْبَطُ الْجَدْيُ حَتَّى يُؤْتَى بِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَيَحْكُمَ فِيكَ مَا يُرِيدُ

✧ Umayyah said to me, 'O Abu Sufyan, shall we go ahead of the caravan and talk?' I said, 'Yes.' So we did, and he said to me, 'O Abu Sufyan, what about 'Utbah b. Rabi'ah?' I said, 'What about 'Utbah b. Rabi'ah?' He said, 'Noble on both sides, who avoids injustices and forbidden things?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'And an elder of high rank?' I said, 'And an elder of high rank.' He said, 'Age and rank have diminished him.' I said to him, 'You lie; he only increases in honor as he increases in age.' He said, 'O Abu Sufyan, this is a word I have not heard anyone say to me since I became a Christian. Do not be hasty with me until I tell you.' I said, 'Proceed.' He said, 'I used to find in my books a prophet who would be sent from this region of ours, and I thought—rather I did not doubt—that I was him. But when I studied with the people of knowledge, he was from Banu 'Abd Manaf. I looked among Banu 'Abd Manaf and found no one suitable for this matter except 'Utbah b. Rabi'ah. When you told me his age, I knew it was not him, since he had passed forty and had not received revelation.' Abu Sufyan said: Time passed, and revelation came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I set out with a group of Quraysh to Yemen for trade and passed by Umayyah b. Abi al-Salt. I said to him, as if mocking, 'O Umayyah, the prophet you were waiting for has emerged.' He said, 'Indeed, it is true, so follow him.' I said, 'What prevents you from following him?' He said, 'Nothing prevents me from following him except shyness before the women of Thaqif. I used to tell them that I was him, and then they would see me following a young man from Banu 'Abd Manaf.' Then Umayyah said, 'And it is as if, O Abu Sufyan, if I oppose him, I will be tied up as a kid is tied until you are brought to him and he judges in your case as he wishes.'
